Doesn't A&M have a larger endowment than Texas?

Regardless, if money was the end all, be all - wouldn't Texas be the greatest University in the country at EVERYTHING?

Texas is a fine institution, but they give the impression that they're too busy jerking off to pictures of money to bother noticing anyone else could be as good (or better) than them.

No, they get a larger portion of the PUF because big bro little bro and all that. But yes, they think money is the end all be all of everything.

Texas has the larger endowment and is twice the size of A&M's but A&M is still the 2nd largest endowment of any public school (recently passed Michigan).

It's a bit more complicated than that though because the money is for the Systems and not the main campus. A&M has to split its money with some of its system schools (though most don't qualify). Texas OTOH has to split its money with a larger system. UT Dallas, UTSA, UTEP, UT Arlington, UT Tyler, the 6 UT Med Schools including MD Anderson. Thus the "usable" money between the schools is very similar at this point, especially because it is very restricted as to what it can be spent on (mainly new construction for instance) and it is only interest that can be spent.

No. Oddly enough, A&M has 22 members of its system while Texas only has 16 (15 if you combine Brownsville and Pan-American into Rio Grande)
